v1.3.0
Highlights
- Introduced workflow instance status, which indicates the execution state (created, inProgress, executing, paused, stopped, finished, manual) of workflow instance
- Added REST API services for pausing, resuming and stopping workflow instances
- Restructured workflow definition statistics to return workflow instance status counts for workflow instance states
Details
- nflow-engine:
- Use more optimal SQL when polling workflows when database supports update returning syntax
- Only rollback poll operation when no workflows could be allocated for executing (when multiple pollers compete for same workflows)
- Allow configuring executor queue length with nflow.dispatcher.executor.queue.size
- nflow.transition.delay.waiterror.ms parameter was splitted to nflow.transition.delay.error.min.ms and nflow.transition.delay.error.max.ms
- Add field
nflow_instance_action.type
that contains type of action:- stateExecution - for actions created with normal execution. This is also set for old actions created before this feature.
- stateExecutionFailed - for actions where execution failed due thrown exception or retry count was exceeded.
- externalChange - for changes created externally via API.
- recovery - to indicate that the workflow instance was recovered after some executor died.
- Use more optimal SQL when updating workflows when database supports updateable cte syntax
- Automatically abbreviate state text for workflow instance and workflow instance action based on field size in database
- Added WorkflowInstance.status (created, in_progress, executing, manual, finished, paused, stopped) for workflow instances
- Removed WorkflowInstance.processing which is now replaced by WorkflowInstance.status
- Workflow instance state text is now always set to a meaningful value when the instance is updated
- Make most configuration properties required and remove the default values from the source code
- Added missing default values to the configuration files
- Improved workflow definition statistics query performance and results
- Retry processing of a workflow instance that has unknown state after some delay (one hour by default, configurable)
- Move workflow instance to error state when a state processing method returns an invalid next state
- nflow-rest-api:
- Added support for user-provided action description when updating a workflow instance
- Added missing configuration options with default values
- Added support for Action.type
- Added service to pause, resume and stop the execution of the workflow instance
- Make most configuration properties required and remove the default values from the source code
- Added missing default values to the configuration files
- Moved workflow definitions statistics to /statistics/workflow/{workflow-definition-type} and return statistics per workflow state and status
- nflow-jetty:
- added missing configuration options with default values
- Make most configuration properties required and remove the default values from the source code
- Added missing default values to the configuration files
- Use nFlow Explorer version 0.0.7
